Nixon Lake Dam, is a private earth dam located in Newton, Georgia. Situated on the WEST BEAR CREEK, this dam serves primarily for recreational purposes, offering a surface area of 16 acres and a storage capacity of 111 acre-feet. With a height of 13 feet and a length of 551 feet, the dam has a low hazard potential and is currently rated as not assessed.
Although the dam was last inspected in February 2002 and is subject to inspections every five years, its condition assessment remains unrated. Despite its moderate risk level, Green Valley Lake Dam does not have an Emergency Action Plan (EAP) in place, and there is limited information available regarding its risk management measures. The dam features an uncontrolled spillway and outlet gates, with no associated locks or drainage area specified.
Owned privately and with no federal regulatory oversight, Green Valley Lake Dam stands as a testament to the intersection of water resource management and recreational infrastructure. Its picturesque location and historical significance make it a valuable asset to the local community, serving as a reminder of the importance of maintaining and monitoring our water resources in the face of climate change.
